La cama está que extraña el movimiento
The bed misses the movement
Tu ropa extraña el aire que le quitas
Your clothes miss the air that you take from them
Y como un batallón en huelga de futuros
And like a battalion on strike for the future
Se asoman tus zapatos por el closet
Your shoes peek out from the closet
La casa está con ganas de clonarte
The house is eager to clone you
Y el cuadro en la pared está aburrido
And the painting on the wall is bored
Y es que hasta tu enemiga la cocina
Even your enemy, the kitchen,
Extraña aquellos guisos que no hacías
Misses those dishes you never made
Y no se hable del reloj que haraganea
And don't mention the clock that's lazy
Haciendo de un instante una odisea
Turning a moment into an odyssey
Y pa' qué te hablo de mí, si está de más
And why should I talk about me, when it's unnecessary
Pa' qué la verborragia cursi y necia
What's the point of this silly and foolish chatter
Pa' qué decirte que el peor es quien te habla
Why tell you that the worst is the one who speaks to you
Pa' qué decirte que hoy que ya no estás
Why tell you that today, now that you're not here
La casa se derrumba en mi cabeza
The house crumbles in my mind
Y la puerta se abre sola por si vuelves
And the door opens by itself, just in case you return
El sillón aún guarda huellas de tus curvas
The chair still holds traces of your curves
Y el piso no es el mismo sin tus pasos
And the floor is not the same without your steps
Y el sol ya ni se asoma en la ventana
And the sun hardly peeks through the window
Sabiendo que no estás para observarlo
Knowing that you're not here to see it
Y no se hable de tu olor que flota inerte
And let's not talk about your scent that floats in the air
O del espejo que se inclina para verte
Or the mirror that bends down to see you
Y pa' qué te hablo de mí, si está de más
And why should I talk about myself, when it’s unnecessary
Pa' qué la verborragia cursi y necia
Why the verbose, silly chatter
Pa' qué decirte que el peor es quien te habla
Why tell you that the worst is the one who speaks to you
Pa' qué decirte que hoy que ya no estás
Why tell you that today, now that you're gone
La casa se derrumba en mi cabeza
The house crumbles in my head
Y la puerta se abre sola por si vuelves
And the door opens by itself in case you return
